Hey guys. Would you like it if we were to possibly host TERA mods and aggregate links for you to download them with ease? Obviously if you create mods and we host them you receive credit for creating it, we simply host the dataz for easy storage. Considering megaupload has disappeared(rip mu.) We figure that it would just be even more simple for us to store the data ourselves. We also have BG Blogs, which you could keep your current mod projects going through as well.

um idk if this works 100% without bugs soo you should BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE YOU SWAP/DELETE ANYTHING

2-16-2012 update When patches are released, switch your dats back to the original before downloading/patching the game. The patcher will error out around 90% every time causing you to re-download the patch
Original elin panties (booty shorts un-fix) files (got them from /v/ so use at own risk)

soon as the game is up ill see if they work 100%

Okay so it works

It's interesting to note that the nipple censor was introduced in the Japanese client too. This explains now why when I extracted the files around I noticed some of the textures had nipples (the ones that cannot be seen) while others were blurred out.

I obviously see no problem with this because really, it's just a damn nipple, but whatever. It seems the game will be easy to mod from version to version, so it's just a matter of getting a hand on the latest korean client and switch stuff at will.

I know you can extract the weapon skin from that NPC model, just wondering if it you can then repack that weapon into a file that's just the weapon by itself and dat swap it for another weapon's file?

All others files are for animations, heads, tails and hairs that are not needed and will only cause problems.

In some of the comments, people were saying that in the beta test over the weekend, the fact that they weren't using the high quality textures may have been messing with it, maybe. I guess it is just a wait and see in future tests type deal. I didn't have enough time to mess with it over the weekend to know if they even worked or not.

All others files are for animations, heads, tails and hairs that are not needed and will only cause problems.
was mainly pointing out the files to recognize where to put the dats

and yes dont mess with anything outside the dats you want to swap.. obviously it will cause issues. Used the swap on my pc at home had 0 issues in game the entire weekend. Even ran into the ellin congo-line that was forming in the main city.. No issues

Shassira

Why do I not remember High Elf nipples? I vaguely remember Castanic nipples, if that.

I'm pretty sure they are covered on every armor. I hadn't even noticed the castanic ones, but those do show on some.

Anyway, the nipples are in every texture of every armor. Basicly, if you open the packages you can see the base skin of every character is in the related texture of the armor and then the remaining texture elements of the armor on top of the body. This is because armor and body are a single piece, not constructed separately, just like in XI and many other MMOs.

Escensialy, they made a naked version of every race and added nipples to them, which then propagated to every texture they made after for each armor.

On the JP release someone bothered removing them from every armor piece, even if they didn't show at all.

Also, there's a "non gear" version of each race, but for some reason it's not being used and instead we get the same skin as the initial armor. In most cases it looks like a bikini.

Ah, yeah. Sort of like Mithra tails then. I just never ever remember seeing this on High Elf. Even the pics listed under High Elf in that mod site was really a Castanic body. Anyway, this will turn out quit interesting nonetheless, as I doubt people are gonna wanna stop at only nip slips!

Theirs a video I've already posted in NS, of a full body nude high elf (pussy and all) but, it may not be importable into tera because of however tera handles models (and or transparency?) Only seen the animation played through umodel, no ingame videos as of yet.

Unless a mod is "taking advantage of game mechanics" (see through walls, see through stealth so on), most any company will not care if you .dat mod it. Its one those "we know your doing it, but as long as you don't show it, we don't care" type rules.
Now if you started submitting nude modded tera to their photo gallery, with your name on it they may start caring :P

I don't care, but it's funny how people that work for companies think they can easily get away with a tiny fib (or stretching the truth in other cases) without getting caught sooner or later (and these days its usually soon). We don't live in the 80's anymore. Also note sig below for additional evidence.

I've never seen Castanics show their nipples, yes their armor is very revealing but never nipples or down below. High Elfs on the other hand show them off everywhere. Personally I feel anything that comes from MMO Site makes me suspicious as they affiliated with NCsoft. So they are gonna do anything they can to give bad news to TERA.

2012-02-17, 01:13

I don't think it really matters. I severely doubt the Blue Posts know two shits about the armor models and how the client renders them, so it's very unlikely that they are 'lieing'. As for the mod site, they are always a take it or leave it; does one render, with some areola, really matter much? Grab it for the elin mods, if you want, and move along, knowing you'll have to manually swap things around for any patch update.

Foxer

Like I said since the start; I remember K-TERA having 0<-- nipples. It's all bullshit to and people are making a big deal it of it.

Not to say no one will enjoy nipples, but they were never in the game to begin with.

Maybe they'll figure out a way to make Elins look more like the female shop NPCs. That'll be worth looking into!

Disclaimer: Not going to defend them, but I want to point something out.

He locked it because he knew it was a half truth. It's not a lie, however. The nipple removal was not "for the NA client", it's been removed for the JP client previously and so it wasn't specific for the NA client.

Yes, it's a half truth. And yes, it's bullshit they always work like this.

I don't think it's currently possible to repack the gpk files or at least I know of no way to do it, so it's unlikely those textures come from a real mod. Perhaps an early version of the KR client? This should be possible to find if there's still an early torrent around.

Hopefuly you can prove me wrong and know how to create those pkgs, ofcourse.

As for the videos that Gulkeeva has posted, they are non-game renders, so they take the unpacked textures and such.

FriskUni

2012-02-17, 07:36

could have sworn KR were doing dat mods, I could be wrong though

in any case, that picture of the KR model from tera-online.cc has a 2010 watermark on it, which was before KR was even retail, so that tells you that they were even using the same model back then in their client as they are now
so lets say this guy did it from a really old client, which would have been maybe early beta or an alpha stage, that still doesn't change the fact it didn't make it to KR retail which is the whole argument of that article, that KR have a different version than we do(other then elin), which they don't and that it was censored for NA, which it wasn't

No, it was removed for K-TERA itself in one of their stress tests before their CBTs ended in Korea. Betas never made it to that level and I can personally guarantee you they were already removed by the time CBT4 rolled in, which was Nov. 2010. There is - difference in textures in any game right now, outside of the Elin shorts.

Was taken from this client torrent:
http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/6077518/Korean_Tera_OBT_Client

Which is from early january, 2011.

So it seems that the KR client was modified to remove the nipples too.
Either this client torrent has been modified or these are part of the original files. It's very unlikely that it was modded, since really, I'm pretty sure that the current problem with TERA modding is the darn pkg files.

Perhaps they came back after release? It wouldn't be strange if they swaped in textures around by accident. I'm not really sure, the only landmark date I have is the one of the torrent I posted which claims to be the OBT client. It seems legit to me, specialy considering the repackaging problem.

Also, the nipples appear in every single armor texture, even the ones that are fully covered (in reality, I think there's only one armor piece that flashes them). It would make no logical sense to edit every single texture with nipples (from a modder's perspective) if you aren't going to remove armor parts or they cannot be seen.

EDIT: Blah, failed to double quote. Sorry.

Foxer

2012-02-17, 08:27

Ah yeah, which is why I made the Mithra tail reference(for people who know what I'm talking about). I don't doubt the nip files are there if they were ever naked, but I imagined the actual armor files had nipless skins attached to them.

Also, I just noticed the .cc pics are 09-10, which guarantees they were never actually used in game, even in KR. ><;

JigglyJam

2012-02-17, 08:27

I'll leave the nip versions in anyways but I'll have to look for them in this next test because I can not see them at all in those pictures. If I can't tell the difference I'll just use the defaults.

So what the CM said was correct. THEY didn't do it, it was the JP company that censored the nipples for them.
The only thing that the Europe/US company did was censoring the Elin.

Current proof points to BHS removing the nipples globaly at some point in time, as provided by FriskUni. It's unclear exactly when this happened though; all we know is that at some point it changed even in korea. We could speculate that the change was done for the JP release and extended to both KR and JP clients, thus inherited by the US/EU client as well. In other words, we can expect that future KR work will have the nipples removed as well.

And with this, I'm done talking about nipples in this game, forever.

Greetings, everyone.

Some of you might recognize my name, as I spent a considerable chunk of my life modding FFXI and posting those mods in the safe haven called neko-sentai, where I have been a member since 2006. TERA has piqued my interest, so I've decided to see what I can do in the way of mods for this game. Needless to say, it completely different. I've been experimenting with uModel and have been able to modify some things using Blender. I'm able to save the changes, but I have come up against a wall. I haven't found a way to convert the modified .psk file back into the .gpk library that the game uses. Once that is solved, I believe I will be able to successfully mod TERA. Help on that would be appreciated.

Also, I've decided to join you all in the closed betas from here on. Happy hunting.

How can you help me with this? PM me with links to DL any tera mod, and i'll try to keep it updated.

edit: wenrick when you get it up and going for your mods we'll host them for you

When you select elin in the character creation the missing body is normal. after that screen everything should work fine (class choice ~> character sliders etc ~> in game). if its not working in game i'm not sure. try just moving the popori f files or just the PC folder into your CH folder for Tera.

I don't know why, but I can't get the Elin Mods, or the JP voice pack, to work. I've tried the elin pack, on the front page, and the one from TeraMods, but no matter what, the changes aren't being picked up by my client. I've restarted the client each time I've tried a swap, but no go. The only problem, of any kind, is that, when I start up Tera, to log in, it says it can't find EMEVersionCheck.exe, however, the file is in the main Tera folder and it isn't a 0 KBS file (12 KBS for me). That error still displayed even after a file check/redownload of the client that I did, earlier in the week, and before any DAT modifications.

Xiani

2012-04-06, 20:15

I tried the Elin mods today and it seems there is an issue with one of the cloth robes. The tip of the dress stretches and moves oddly, and gets stuck inside your leg when you're on mounts. Might need an updated Korean batch to fix that? I'm not sure, but I know I'm not the only one who noticed it with the same cloth body.

Kachiko

2012-04-06, 21:11

It's not just one model; shorts are on everything still.

*Edit*
I was able to get the mod working. I discovered some duplicate files, in another folder, that seems to have caused the problem. Once I restored a good backup, I removed the original files, moved the Elin Mod files over, and started the tera launcer, the armor's were working properly.

No worries; I see the same problems too, but a quick swap, if you want to create a new elin, or a re-log, if in game stuff wigs out, is an easy enough work around. Got the JP voices working too, so the key to getting them to work is to delete the original files, then move the new versions over; just a copy/paste replace doesn't work, though I don't know why; could also have been because I had some duplicate files hanging around, messing things up.

So what do the de-censors other than the elins one do? Did they alter the way armor looks on other classes aside from Elin as well? Or is it just the nipple thing?

So far as I know, you may get a slight nipple shot, on one specific Castanic leather armor, which I don't believe is a skin, that the current 60 level armor even uses.

Surprised they removed the no gear set of underwear from the western release, for a game like this that sells itself using sexy outfits it makes very little sense to me. Elin thing made some sense, this doesn't.

A bit of a missconception here. The tier 0 models (no gear models) have never been used even in the original release of the game, so it's not like they removed them from the US version specificly.

Also noticing a glove mix up from the US version to the KR version. Not that it matters that much, but it seems as though the US version might have reorganized their gear?

The little bit I used it I noticed my gloves looked different, then seeing a screenshot from someone using the KR pack compared to me not using it, I knew I wasn't just remembering incorrectly.

Kachiko

2012-04-09, 16:25

Until a new armor mod comes out, I'd bet the current Elin Mod will be missing the newest models and could cause problems, if your client can't render them. I'm already having problems patching, as I seemed to have fugged the first update try, but, we'll see how things go.

*edit*
Yay for backups; patch worked after a restore of the game folder. Glad I always do this for games, now days.

Does anyone have the latest K-Tera Elin files? My going Elin pretty much depends on those files.

Is there a way to be able to download the korean client without actually paying or maybe pay for like an initial gameplay time and not actually use it up to keep patches coming?

Eddard

2012-04-15, 18:51

Is the BG mirroring or Tera-mods not working?

Xiani

2012-04-15, 18:54

They're missing the latest patch with the newest armors and there are some glitch issues/wrong armor with the current one.

JigglyJam

2012-04-15, 19:31

Yeah they work for the lower level armors. It just bugs me that they won't for the new ones.

Eddard

2012-04-15, 19:36

Ah, sorry didn't realize you were talking about the newer armors. Give it time, I'm sure they will show up. Probably will be on that website eventually.

Not that I'm aware of. It's a blog on blogspot. Although the link above links directly to the post about him updating, if you go back to the main blog area you should see all of the posts with the mods there. Here: http://tera-mods.blogspot.com/

Or am I misunderstanding?

Avarice

2012-04-27, 01:26

There's a Mediafire link in each of the respective updates; he didn't add a new post when he updated the file versions, he just edited the old posts that were originally made months ago.

Katlan

2012-04-27, 22:32

Are these updates up to date for launch? Because he otherwise never removed the disclaimer that says they aren't

Kachiko

2012-04-28, 00:08

Dunno, but, no reason not to use them, so long as you have the originals backed up. Hats and QoA Part 1 armor are the only things to really update, so it seems likely they would be up to date, as you say.

machiko

Surprised there are still no nude or underwear mods available yet, the underwear models are in the game already so would seem like just a dat swap for base armor was needed?

Unfortunately that "just a dat swap" is not that simple. The game doesn't use .dat files, it uses .gpk libraries which are quasi-encrypted. We can extract a mesh or animation from those libraries, but nobody has yet to find a way to compress it back into the library.

That sucks, is this a file system used for Tera exclusively or is it something used for a lot of games that has never been figured out? Wouldn't be happy if we never get mods in Tera due to this. :/ I guess it would make sense they would not want people to do this though, since they have a cosmetic cash shop and all.

Wenrick

2012-05-01, 18:05

I did some reasarch on the .gpk system a while ago. Apparently is a compression system that helps reduce load and save times on your PC. I don't remember the company that makes the software that performs this, but I have noticed a few games that use the Unreal Engine also have the same system. The problem is, the one that TERA uses is unique to TERA. I guess BHS is allowed to modify the system to their needs in some ways, which makes previous decoded .gpk systems unusable. Basically, someone will have to reverse engineer the compression system before we can start implementing our mods into the game.

Well, I'm definitely having the issue with the lions. It's like I'm standing on the lion's back, and my face apparently rips apart from my body lol. Also, my tail is gone! :( I'm certain I didn't take out a dat that isn't included in the mod folders, as I did it three times just to make sure I wasn't messing up. I backed it all up each time. Anyone else having the tail issue?

Xiani

Several people are. Eddard said that after reinstalling the game, he didn't have the issue anymore with the Korean dats.

I've been trying unsuccessfully to swap the files for Castonics and High Elves to make my elf be castonic.

I tried with just the three _H _R _L files, and with ALL _Female_ files for the race, both caused a crash to desktop when it hit the login screen.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on if client side race swapping is feasible or if it's impossible.

Kachiko

2012-05-14, 10:59

I don't believe it works that way. For all practical purposes, the Elin Armor swap is all the MODs are useful for; the rest are designed to put in the original models that were in the KTERA Beta version, but it's been shown that you'll never be able to see those changes, though the Work in Progress Blood mod may also be noticed. You can do the voice and CS replaces, if you want to play with JP/KR voices, but that's a lot more files to dink around with and much easier to screw up, and use your backup copy to restore the game for patching.

MaachaQ

2012-05-14, 13:21

I installed the .dat pack the other day, and had the lion glitch happen >< Only with the lion, I look fine if I pull out a horse instead.

Tempted to do a full reinstall, but I might be installing on a new PC soon anyway so maybe I'll just wait it out. My laptop resolution is a bit too low for this game, and it's old enough that we can't add more RAM to allow TERA to run at higher settings.

"Bikini"... right. That's no bikini for Aman F, that's just naked! I know some of their armor shows regions that it wouldn't on others because they seem to have no genitals, and the closest thing to "female" is the fact they have boobs, but lol.

Aren't these the original "no armor" skins? I swear I remember someone mentioning they were what characters were with no armor on and they tossed that and went with the noobie outfits we see now when we start.

madpersian

2012-05-16, 14:21

The aman is the best! It is pretty much naked, and they are lizardlike, so no need for nips. No idea if they are the original or not. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that they aren't thongs.

Copied my old files over because there was meant to be a patch today. Loaded up launcher, no patch. Closed launcher, replaced Elin dats. Reopened launcher, loaded fine. Opened game, hangs after opening trailer, servers show up but cannot connect to them. Closed game, closed launcher, copied backup folder back. Re-opened launcher, re-opened game, hangs after opening trailer, servers show up but cannot connect...

I have 200KB download speeds at best, if I can't get my game to work I'mma be offline for two or three days...

Does the game download patches while you're playing? That's the only reason I can think of why my old files no longer work.

Edit: Uninstalling game, see you in three days /wrist

Edit2: 1 day, 8 hours, 52 minutes on download. Hoping I can convince my cousin to allow me to borrow his internet for a few hours tomorrow and get this done. Fuck you TERA, I need youu

2012-05-22, 01:24

so i figured out the problem, and was wondering why no one else was getting the same problem as i was
apparently the destination folder they want you to put the files in, i had to put them in 2 spots
help file says put them in the

tera\Client\S1Game\CookedPC\Art_Data\Packages\CH\P C

but fail to mention for some people that you should put those files in

\tera\Client\S1Game\CookedPC\Art_Data\Packages\CH

as well. i dont know if i was the only person with that problem or what, but every time i put them in the spot they were suppose to they would get over written or not used or something weird happened

apart

2012-05-22, 06:52

Can't see why that would do the trick for you yash, ...Art_Data\Packages\CH has no files in it just folders. You could change the file access rules for those files so they wont get overwritten if thats the case.

Avarice

2012-05-22, 10:46

Even though it says to replace/merge the folders, I always do it manually and backup/replace the files myself; this is where I put them.

yash

2012-05-22, 19:13

ive tried to use the uncensored stuff many times, till i got really angry and spent a good 4 hours trying everything
trolled the internet and found a post that said this

I've found that the 3 files:

Popori_F_H.gpk
Popori_F_L.gpk
Popori_F_R.gpk

when places directly in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH, make the mod work. The files placed in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH>PC are not required, for some reason.

If I just place the files in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH>PC, the mod doesn't work. If I place the files in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH, the mod works.

It's as if the game isn't actually loading them out of %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH>PC. Either that or files placed in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH over-write those in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH>PC.

So try that if it's not working for you. Placed in %>TERA>Client>S1Game>CookedPC>Art_Data>Packages>CH, the mod works. Still have the issue with the body disappearing on the race select screen, but I have an idea I'm going to try..

so i tried it and low and behold it worked. kyuaii couldn't get his to work either till he tried this, so i don't think its an isolated thing, i don't know whats causing it though

I am? ¬.¬

There's one for high elf that is 95% nude, and one for Elin that's about the same. Haven't seen one for Castanic that is similar, but due to how the meshes are structured, with patches of areas unrendered, its going to be difficult to find a "fully nude" mod. Besides, I'm really not a fully nude type of guy. I like my women to be wearing something.

Yes, the textures are in medium-quality only right now, due to the mod program's limitations. But even on medium texture settings, this game is gorgeous.

Pics of my mods are on neko currently, in case anyone is interested.

Is there any way to get these original clothes back? I've applied the mods (thanks btw, it works..ish) but my Elin is still wearing the custom "unnecessarily extra baggy" clothing. The strange thing is that cutscenes show her original clothes. Just not gameplay. (original as in the Elin Archer's clothes in the OP's post)

Uryuu

2012-09-02, 10:43

Cutscenes will always show your original armor no matter what. Even if you dye your armor color without any dat mods, in the cutscene you will be wearing that armor with its original color.
